Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World

Chariss K. Walker
iUniverse Inc. (2008)
ISBN 9780595481194
Reviewed by Sandie Kirkland for RebeccasReads (10/08)

Chariss Walker has written a book to give hope and help to individuals facing various life issues, through a Christian filter.  She divides the book into three sections.  The first section is titled Understanding Spiritual Laws.  In this section, Ms. Walker tells her story and how she came to believe in these ideas.  She talks about concepts such as how we come to understand truth, that we are led to those who can help when we are ready for such help.  She discusses the power of words, and how having the right attitude can change the way a life unfolds.

The second section is titled The Spiritual Laws.  Ms. Walker devotes a chapter to the following laws:  The Law of Oneness, The Law of Vibration, The Law Of Attraction, The Law of Polarity, the Law Of Action, The Law of Rhythm, The Law of Cause and Effect, The Law of Asking and Receiving, The Law Of Increase, The Law of Compensation, The Law of Transmutation, The Law Of Relativity, The Law of Reciprocation and The Law of Forgiveness.  Each law is interpreted through the filter of Christian concepts, and Bible verses are used throughout to illustrate the principals.  Each chapter ends with various affirmations the reader can use when practicing the law.

The last section is titled Putting Spiritual Laws Into Practice.  It covers topics such as prayer, meditation, thanksgiving, praise, affirmations, visualization, dreams, miracles, light of the world, and angels.  The same format is used; each topic is explained with either a short parable or Bible verses or both.  I found the indexing of angels into various groups very interesting.  The book ends with recommended reading and a glossary of terms.

The audience for this book would be either a reader who is interested in the Christian faith, or one who is searching for answers to make sense of their life.  Readers in those categories will find this book informative and helpful.
